SafetyIssues
GroundFaultCircuitInterrupterProtection
This product must be properly grounded. This electric
pressure washer is equippedwith a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).Thedevice will disconnect both power
conductors to the load circuit in the event of an interruption
in either or both supply circuit power conductors. If a
malfunction or breakdown occurs, the GFCIprovides
protection.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordancewith all local
codes and ordinances. Readthe instructions on the plug for
use or seeBeforeStarting Pressure Washer.
AutomaticShut-Off
The pressurewasher is equippedwith a sensor that will
detectthat high pressurewater flow has stopped when
releasingor locking the spray gun trigger. Thesensor will
causethe motor to shut off for as long as the spray gun
trigger is releasedor locked.
Motor Overload
Theelectric motor in this pressure washer is equippedwith
an overload protection device.This device will automatically
shut off the motor if the motor overheatsor draws excessive
current. After a period of time, the devicewill reset and the
pressure washer can resume normal operation.
ExtensionCords
We Do Not recommend the use of extension cords with this
device. If it is necessaryto useone, however,then you must
use only extensioncords that are approvedfor outside use.
Theseextension cords are identified by a marking
"ACCEPTABLEFORUSEWITH OUTDOORAPPLIANCES".
Extensioncords are not recommendedunless they are
plugged into a ground-fault-protected receptacle.DONOT
use damagedextensioncords. Also observe the following
specifications:
CableLength: Wire Gauge:
Upto 25 feet (8m) 14 AWG
50 feet (15m) 12 AWG
Always disconnect the extensioncord from the receptacle
before disconnecting the GFCIfrom the extensioncord.
WARNING
"_f Riskof electrocution.
• Keepall electrical connections dry and off the ground.
• NEVERtouch plug with wet hands.
• NEVERcut or removegrounding blade(round longer pin) on
GFCIattachment plug.

Howto UsetheTurboNozzle
Theturbo nozzlespins a 0° nozzlestream in a circular pat-
tern, providing an intense wide-spray pattern for scouring
large surface areasfast and efficiently.
A turbo nozzlecan easily cut through heavyoil and grease
stains on concrete, brick and plastic and strip paintfrom var-
ious surfaces. DONOTusethe turbo nozzleon delicate
materials, especiallywood. Always start the turbo nozzleat a
distance, gradually getting closer to the surface until you get
the cleaningforce you want. Always keepthe turbo nozzlein
a constant motion. NEVERdwell on asingle spot. Passover
stubborn stains repeatedlyuntil they are gone using even
strokes.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and
_ possible amputation.
The turbo nozzleproduces an extremely high
pressure spray which is capableof removing
paint and cutting holesthrough surfaces if held
too close.
• Alwaysmakesurethesurfaceyouwillcleanwill notbe
damagedbythehighpressurespraybytestingin a hiddenarea.
To attachthe turbonozzleto thespraygun:
1. Engagetrigger lock on spray gun trigger.
2. Removenozzleextensionfrom spray gun, if attached.
3. Attachturbo nozzleextensionto spray gun. Tighten by
hand.
4. Disengage trigger lock on spray gun trigger.
5. For most effectivecleaning, keep turbo nozzlefrom 8 to
24 inches awayfrom cleaning surface. Ifyou get turbo
nozzletoo close, you may damage cleaningsurface.
NOTE:Detergentcannot be appliedwith turbo nozzle.
OtherCleaningTips
•Never leavethe pressure washer unattendedwhile it is
plugged into an electrical outlet and while water is
supplied to the equipment.
• Never usethe garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or
wax.
• If you havethe nozzletoo far awayfrom the surface
being washed,the cleaningwill not be as effective.
IMPORTANT:DoNot get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
tires.

5. Checkgun and nozzleextensionassembly for leaks.
6. Purge pump of air and contaminants.
PressureWasherMaintenance
CleanDebris
Daily or beforeuse, cleanaccumulated debris from pressure
washer. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the
pressure washer. Theseopenings must be kept cleanand
unobstructed.
NOTICE
Improper treatment of pressurewasher candamageit and
shorten its life. .......
• DONOTinsertanyobjectsthroughcoolingslots.
Pressurewasher parts should be kept clean to reducethe
risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Usea damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Usea soft bristle brush to loosen cakedon dirt, oil, etc.
• Usea vacuum cleanerto pick up loose dirt and debris.
Checkand CleanInlet Screen
Examinegarden hose inlet screen. Cleanif it is clogged or
replaceif it is torn.
CheckHigh Pressure Hose
High pressure hosescan developleaks from wear, kinking,
or abuse. Inspect hosebefore eachuse. Checkfor cuts,
leaks,abrasions, bulging of cover,or damageor movement
of couplings.
WARNING
Thehigh pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces cancut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leadingto serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVERrepairhighpressurehose.
CheckGunand NozzleExtension
Examinehose connection to spray gun and makesure it is
secure.Test trigger by pressing it and making sure it springs
back into placewhen you releaseit. Put safety latch in
latched position and test trigger. You should not be ableto
press trigger. Replacespray gun immediately if it fails anyof
these tests.
Thenozzleextensions useo-rings to preventwater leaks.
Normal usagewill causewear on these rings and mating
surfaces. Callthe pressure washer helpline at
1-800-4MY-HOME(1-800-469-4663) for the availability of
an O-Ring MaintenanceKit.
AWARNING

equipment produces can cut through skin and itsunderlying tissues, leadingto serious injury and
possible amputation.
• NEVERrepairleakingconnectionswithsealantofanykind.
Replaceo-ringor seal.
Nozzle Maintenance
A pulsing sensationfelt while squeezingthe spray gun
trigger may becaused by excessivepump pressure.The
principal causeof excessivepump pressure is a nozzle
clogged or restricted with foreign materials, such asdirt, etc.
To correct the problem, immediately cleanthe nozzle
following these instructions:
1. Turn master ON/OFFswitch to OFF.(Turnknobfully
counter-clockwise.) Disconnectwater supply.
2. Removenozzleextensionfrom spray gun.
3. Use supplied cleaningwire to free anyforeign material
clogging or restricting nozzle.
,Using a garden hose, remove additional debris by back
flushing water through nozzleextension. Backflush
between 30 to 60 seconds.
5. Reconnect nozzleextensionto spray gun.
6. Reconnectwater supply, turn on water, and move
master ON/OFFswitch to ON.
,Test pressurewasher by operatingwith nozzle in every
availableposition.
